I’m curious to know if anyone here who lives in the US has ever managed to sell their Japanese bulk through a service. Is it possible?

My Japanese bulk I’ve always sorted then bundled up and sold as complete sets (Like Neo 1 complete non-holo set, etc…). I’ve had the best luck and seem to have gotten the top dollar with that approach.

Hi knowledgeable folks of E4.
Does anyone have a full list of CoroCoro promos? I can’t seem to filter by this on Bulbapedia or Pokecollector unless I’m doing something wrong.
Thanks!

All CoroCoro cards (excluding the snap 1998 contest)
This will have quite a bit more than just the older CoroCoro promos. It’s not yet up to date to the S-P promo era, but I’ll get around to that…eventually

yea im not sure you can just filter it atm (ran into this with natta wake promos + masaki, etc.) basically, you just gotta learn where the cards end up falling in general, which in this case and all the ones listed above, is the unnumbered promo cards section and then you just gotta sift through and find the cards yourself
also, im not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, or if it has already been answered, but why is there a colour discrepancy between 1st/ shadowless base charizard, unlimited and jp base? I don’t own the card so I’m not sure if my eyes are deceiving me in pictures, but it appears the Japanese base zard has blue wings, same with the CD promo release. Both of these happened before the 1st edition + shadowless prints of english base, so why do they have green wings? wasn’t the Japanese art the point of reference/ used for the english card? did wotc recolour it or am i just trippin?

You can use my site to filter by ‘Release Event’ and it should find what you’re looking for. For example, here’s the Natta Wake + Masaki PromosSugimori drew the CD promo Charizard, while Arita drew the base set version. The Arita arts are identical to each other across languages, unless there were minor printing issues.

sweet, thank you for the resource!!
yea, im referring to the colour of charizards wings. although Arita drew the base set art, the colour on charizard’s wing differs in the print runs of base set; 1st showing zard with green wings, shadowless showing zard with green wings, unlimited showing zard with blue wings. It was my understanding this was because some of the Pokemon designs had some consistency issues and slightly changed over the first few years before the designs were finalized (chubby pikachu thinning out, charmander having a neck spike). But, the Japanese printing of base set came out 3 years before the English print (1999) and the CD Promos came out in 1998. Both of these printings show Charizard with blue wings, so it doesn’t make sense that English base would show Zard with green wings, because the design of it having blue wings would have already been finalized years prior as seen in Japanese base and CD promo. So, why does 1st ed. zard have green wings? It’s even on the base box art too! strange

Hero this is exactly what I was looking for as also like the ‘newer’ stuff. I’m up to date on S-P so I’ll use this for remainder of eras im not 100% sure on
Edit; noticed was missing some like Virizion, Cobalion and Terrakion from BW era

Sorry if this has been asked or if it’s a dumb question: why are the alt arts for eevee heroes so expensive? The are in the hundreds of dollars with the umbreon alt art selling for $1,000 AUD. Are they just hard to pull?

Supply/demand. The boxes have never been readily available, they’re hard to pull and extremely popular. Even with that, though, $1000 AUD is way over “market price”. You can buy from Japan for a lot less.

Anybody else feeling really disappointed with what the japanese 25th main set looks like so far? I’ve complained on discord about the way they release the promos tied to a purchase of packs, while not including the promos in the set or even as a box topper or something.
I hope the people buying the Japanese boxes on eBay advertising all the reprints like Charizard, Umbreon etc. realize what’s really in the boxes:
If they don’t surprise us with additional secret rares English didn’t bother to include yet, all we have to chase in a box are the Pikachu Full Art, Vs and Vmax, full art Oak and Shining Mew. That’s it. Really feels similar to the Detective Pikachu set, doesn’t it?
If all the promo cards have the same pull rate, you find say an Umbreon every 25 promo packs/every 100 set boosters/ every ~6 boxes. But that’s only if for every 4 set boosters, there’s always a promo pack out there, since they aren’t sold together by many stores.
Now we have to wait and see if they hit that sweet spot of just enough packs to make it a good chase, but not so that a promo pack will cost more than a set box in the end. And we have to hope the promo packs aren’t searchable like the extra battle day ones.

So people paying that much for the umbreon right now are getting ripped off/a bad deal you think?

Pretty sure the lottery will be determined on the 18th and people can go buy them after they were selected so they will probably be available after next week.

OK so high hundreds, but there was a raw copy for just over $1000 AUD less than a month ago (https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?\_from=R40&\_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&\_nkw=umbreon+vmax+japanese+095%2F069&\_sacat=0&LH\_TitleDesc=0&rt=nc&\_odkw=umbreon+vmax+japanese+095&\_osacat=0&LH\_Complete=1&LH\_Sold=1).

The price jumped from 5k yen to 10k yen overnight.
I ordered one last night at 5k and my middleman messaged me this morning: “Price of this item has recently changed (¥5,500 → ¥9,500)”
